The Experience

There are two bedrooms and a spacious sitting room in the cottage. Bedrooms are individually themed, extremely comfortable and have en suite shower rooms. The shared sitting room is filled with interesting art, good antiques and plenty of books. The garden is an absolute delight, beautifully tended with trimmed box hedges, vines and many roses. Find a secluded spot for reading or dreaming, take a cooling dip in the saltwater pool, stroll around the village, explore the church.

The cottage has a large kitchen with a central table and is very well-stocked with equipment, including a large American fridge. There’s also an outside dining area and a private garden – lovely to eat supper out here on a warm evening. There is flexibility here too if you are a larger party, with an extra room in the house where the owners do brilliant B&B.

You’re in the historic village of Bois-Sainte-Marie which each summer hosts a music festival.

Location

The neighbourhood

James and Gilles can organise experiences for you and can guide you to the best places to eat wonderful local food. Buy meat from just up the road at La Ferme des Blancs where Charolais cows and rare breed pigs roam free. It's 3km to Gibles for groceries, bread and a small restaurant, otherwise La Clayette (5km) has a wide choice of restaurants and shops.

Local points of interest from James Auclair

  • The property has many areas to relax in the garden as well as a pool that isn’t overlooked in the shade of century-old trees.
  • Each summer in the first week of August, there are chamber music concerts in the very beautiful church in Bois-Sainte-Marie.
  • Trips to vineyards in the Mâconnais, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Brionnais can be organised on request.
  • Massages can also be booked.
  • Possibility to rent an other bedroom in the main house (1 double)
